Chapter 426 An unwanted guest
The first few days of the year at Vampire Academy don't tend to be a lot of fun. They are usually stressful, and many people try to get used to the classes and their new classmates. Others simply try to understand what the teacher is saying, although they find it too difficult.
But very few of them spend their days having fun or doing something they like to do, as the first few days of each year are when they touch more theory than practice.
But no one can do anything. Theory is just as important as practice, or so the teachers say, and the students must accept what they say.
Even the Heirs must accept this, most of the time.
This is why, during the first few days of each year at the First Academy, everyone looks overly stressed and focused on what they are doing. That applies to students coming from the lower academies, those who have just entered, and even those who are among the elite students.
This year, it's the same, and the pressure increased due to the presence of 2 extremely talented and powerful stocks—Matthew and Alice—who are on the grounds and learning with them.
However, for Matthew, this is a little different.
He has not been bored; on the contrary, he spends his days having fun while advancing his understanding of the Path of Control. His status is so high today that he was granted a territory within the Academy for his training and is far away from the hustle and bustle. He is among the academic mountains in which all the directors and powerful people live.
One of those mountains was given to him for his training on a daily basis. And that is where he has been for the past few days, training hard.
His smooth and strange movements are mixed with the powerful gales that occur on this mountain.
The mountain is surrounded by frequent gales that blow powerfully against it and its trees. From the height of the trees and the width of their trunks, Matthew could tell that this place was thousands of years old, which is why he chose it. With such thick, sturdy trees, he could train as he pleased.
Where he stood, nearby trees had numerous fist marks on their trunks. Not just one of them, not ten; there were hundreds of trees with such marked fists.
Still, his training seemed far from over, although his look of satisfaction reflected that he was making good progress.
While his training seemed endless, he suddenly stopped and looked around.
"I have no visitors in this place, and I don't plan to receive them. But since you're here, why don't you show yourself?" He spoke to all sides as he sensed someone powerful nearby.
"Hahahahahaha." A booming laugh sounded from the surroundings, causing Matthew to frown.
'Not a voice I know.' He thought and looked up to look at a figure materializing there.
"So, the Matthew Dietrich I was told was more interesting than I had been told."
He was a good-looking man, wearing training clothes. In his hand, he carried a spear that looked quite heavy and gave an odd feeling; it was a Saint Weapon, though it was incomplete.
This man's clothing was ankle-length pants, which allowed for easy and extensive movement of the lower body, with a green flannel without any ornamentation. He was not dressed elegantly; this type of clothing is commonly used in training, in fact, but he did not dress badly either, as the garments they wore looked highly resistant.
Still, something unusual about him was that he wasn't wearing shoes and evidently the fact that that spear was in his hand, despite the fact that he wasn't fighting.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Who are you?" Matthew was confused, as he had never seen or felt him.
"Hahaha, Matthew Dietrich, let me introduce myself. My name is Liam Wagner, Senior Heir of the Wagner Clan." As he spoke, he walked down to stand about 100 feet away from Matthew.
"Clan Wagner, eh? So, you're Liam Wagner, the rumored Heir of the Chaotic Spear. Come to avenge your Clan brother?" Among spear users in this world, vampires are not very numerous. But this man is able to employ the spear at an extremely high level, being the best at using it in the current era.
It has been more than three generations since a spear skill has appeared and this time, it is worthy of respect.
Liam Wagner also receives an impressive title, thanks to his skill: The Commandment of the Chaotic Spear.
In the current era, Liam Wagner is the most influential Heir in something specific with his skill. He is not the most powerful, but possibly the most capable.
His 'Commandment' regarding the 'Chaotic Spear' style was born thanks to his skill, and he has managed to plant himself among all the Spear styles out there. He is so famous, that he is even known in the other territories thanks to this.
While he is not the most powerful, his ability with the spear is amazing.
Even so, the most amazing thing about him is still that skill: Star-Creating Chaotic Spear.
While it is the most difficult skill to use among all the 14 Main Skills of the 14 Heirs and, therefore, it is difficult to get the most out of it, it is amazing enough to scare the other Heirs who are above him in power.
When Liam Wagner heard this, he shrugged. "I have no intention of avenging that guy. It's okay that he got beaten; that's what he gets for taking training like it's a game." Then he raised his spear and pointed it at Matt.

"I hear you also have a saint weapon, and it's incomplete, just like mine. Besides, you now have amazing status and power. I'd like to try it out. Don't worry; I won't kill you," he said. Matt found his smile of interest a little strange.
'I expected him to come with revenge intentions since the apology statement I had them issue seemed to have angered the Wagners, but this guy seems to come with the pure interest of fighting.' Matthew sighed.
"Tsk, so the rumors are true. You're a fight maniac." Matt replied, but this man was just what he needed to test his power, so before he could answer him, Matthew drew his sword.
"But, since I'm training several subjects, I'd like to try them out on you and see if you can help me figure them out." He said, raising his small sword towards Liam Wagner, accepting his challenge.
